Well, let’s see what happened in the last two days. Kelly and Chase got here about 4:30 on Wednesday. We got settled and then ordered Gianelli’s pizza for supper. Nate still was dealing with a strong reaction from a steroid medication so they did not come up. We just ate and listened to my CD’s while Chase played his games online. Thursday we made fresh scones and then after breakfast Kathy stopped for a few minutes. She brought me a new set of green lights — my one set died on me 24 hours after putting it out. It looks much nicer because it’s actually an exact match to the one that’s on there.
Kelly and I went searching for some things – Big Lots for unique deck lights, which we couldn’t find. Spring isn’t out yet. We tried Marshall’s just for fun. I found two really nice picture frames to replace the ones that broke last week. Then we got batteries at Ollie’s. We made Chase Quesadillas for lunch and Kelly and I had leftover pizza. We spent the afternoon just working on projects. She was working on 4-H and Upwards projects and I washed my car. It was so dirty I was embarrassed.

Kelly wanted a coaster like I made of the covered bridge at their place so we made that, then had grilled cheese for supper. I cleaned out both freezers and was able to send some items home with her today.

This morning we buzzed over to Walmart to get what she needs for tomorrow’s Upwards basketball games at their church. We didn’t do much else – just chatted and read our current books. I found a series set in Williamsburg in 1774 – I am very excited about it. Although the first book is $.99 the rest a slightly more. But if I really like it I will probably invest. The author is a very good writer!
The clouds were unusual the last few days…
Tonight
Tuesday
It was hard to see them leave and the house feels so empty and alone. I went in to work, and Rege was by himself. After I finished my work, I stuck around to answer phones, etc, while he handled his customers. At one point there were four at once! That never happens. But it slowed down enough that I could leave at about 4:45pm.

I felt like I didn’t want to go home yet, so I walked around Gabe’s (and I did NOT buy a blanket! Or anything, actually…) and then Dollar General. I did by a little wooden pedestal that was 70% off. It’s just a winter piece but still included in the Christmas clearance.

I’m watching a somewhat nonsense movie on Hallmark. It’s just on in the background. I’m going to get something to eat, and then finish my evening. Tomorrow is a new day, with no mistakes in it! ( Anne Shirley — Anne of Green Gables.)
Today I am thankful for family visits!
Quote of the Day:
PEANUTS?
Tomorrow January 10th is:
National Houseplant Appreciation Day; National Oyster Rockefeller Day; National Vision Board Day; Save the Eagles Day; National Cut your Energy Costs Day; National Bittersweet Chocolate Day; Peculiar People Day.
I don’t do houseplants or oysters or vision boards and I don’t have any eagles. I love chocolate. Is that peculiar?? God bless…
